He mihi nui ki a koutou katoa
Ko Tainui toku waka
Ko Rangitikei toku awa
Ko Ruahine toku maunga
Ko Te Hiiri o Mahuta te marae
Ko Ngati Maniapoto toku iwi
Ko Michael raua ko Letitia oku matua
Ko Motueka toku kainga noho
Ko matua Arana toku kaiako
Ko aunty Mere toku kuia
E waru oku tau
Ko Kotuku ahau
No reira tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa.
OUR FAMILY REUNION
In the holidays I went to Picton early in the morning with Manaaki, Hinekura, Mum and Papa. We went to meet Kui and Koko. We had three hours to spend together in Picton and then they took me back on the ferry to Welington . We drove from Welington to Otaki and when we got to Kui's house Kareariki, Aunty Ngahuia and Nana Mara were there. Kareariki looked so different since I had last seen her.
Two days passed and we went to Auckland on a bus, to our whanau reunion. It took about 11 hours from Otaki to Auckland. When we got there we had a powhiri to welcome everyone on to the marae.
That night we got put in to groups of families to do jobs.The second day we went on a trip around
some interesting land marks of Ngati Whatua.The third day we went to Kelly Tarltons in Auckland and it was soooo cool there. I even saw the giant squid. I also saw a sting ray which was really big. that night I slept at my aunty teao's holiday house. the fourth day we stayed at the marae all day. The last we returned to Otaki on the bus. My holiday was awesome.

Mount Arthur is a mountain near Motueka.
It is a a beautiful Mountain that has an amazing walk that is quite long to walk up. I have walked up it one time and it was a life changing experience. It was wonderful. When there is snow on it it is awesome because you get to play in the snow. When you look out you can see Motueka, Nelson and Takaka. It is really big.
